Engine "pucks"???
Noticed on a block I got back from a machinist had what looked like a metal puck, or washer epoxied to the front of the block. What is the purpose of this? Warranty ?
Upon initial startup the motor ran WAY lean and the thing slid down about an inch. Damn headers were glowing like a flouresent light within a minute of startup. (Had to break the cam in)

Is it under the timing cover area?
It could be a magnet, used to attract metal shavings/particles. Most builders tend to put them in the lifter valley area though, or attached to the bottom of a steel oil pan.
